WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE
This year’s service will be held at Riverway at 2 p.m. on Friday, 7th March. The service has been prepared by Christian women in the Cook Islands on the theme “I made you wonderful” and is based in Psalm 139:14 – I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Greasby Methodist Church will also be holding a service on the 7th March at 2 p.m. All warmly invited to attend either service.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON FELLOWSHIP
The next meeting of TAF is on Thursday, 13th March at 2.30 p.m. in the Hilda Shore Room. The speaker will be John Barnett whose talk will be about Incredible Edibles.
GIFT AID SMALL DONATIONS SCHEME (GASDS)
For those of you who may not be aware, our Church can claim gift on small cash donations up to a maximum of £8,000 in each financial year. Currently we are falling behind in achieving this target and everyone is encouraged to help reach £8,000 in whatever they feel able e.g. by increasing their giving on a Sunday or at any other church events when donations are welcome.
